Solution and Explanation
(a) 3H2(g) + N2(g) → 2NH3(g)
(b) 2H2S(g) + 3O2(g) → 2H2O(l) + 2SO2(g)
(c) 3BaCl2(aq) + Al2(SO4)3(aq) → 2AICI3(aq) + 3BaSO4(s)
(d) 2K(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2KOH(aq) H2(g)

Methanol is produced by the reversible, gas-phase hydrogenation of carbon monoxide: \[ {CO} + 2{H}_2 \rightleftharpoons {CH}_3{OH} \] CO and H$_2$ are charged to a reactor, and the reaction proceeds to equilibrium at 453 K and 2 atm. The reaction equilibrium constant, which depends only on the temperature, is 1.68 at the reaction conditions. The mole fraction of H$_2$ in the product is 0.4. Assuming ideal gas behavior, the mole fraction of methanol in the product is ____________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).

Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Chemistry is a vast subject and for understanding its significance we can take help of following points:
- Chemistry plays an important role in understanding various subjects like physics, geology and biology.
- Chemistry is a core branch of science that explains us about the various compositional properties and interaction of matter. It also helps to understand various chemical reactions.
- Chemistry is important in order to understand the behaviour of fertilizers, alkenes, acids, salts, dyes, polymers, drugs, soaps and alloys in organic and inorganic chemistry.
- Chemistry plays an important role in various fields like healthcare, industrial, research, food, and farm activities.

Classification of Matter
There are two ways of classifying the matter:
(A) Physical Classification:
Matter can exist in three physical states:
- Solids - have definite volume and definite shape
- Liquids - have definite volume but not definite shape.
- Gases - have neither definite volume nor definite shape.
(B) Chemical Classification:
Based upon the composition, matter can be divided into two main types:
- Pure Substances are defined as a single substance (or matter) which cannot be separated by simple physical methods. Pure substances can be further classified as (i) Elements (ii) Compounds
- Mixtures are the combination of two or more elements or compounds which are not chemically combined together and may also be present in any proportion.
